Miriam-- My understanding is that phonograph records are best stored flat, not more than two deep. If stored upright, they should be turned from time to time to prevent distortion caused by the vinyl flowing downward. >The latest odd question to come up at work is how to store old, oversized >vinyl records. I understand that it is possible to buy archival quality >record boxes, but I was wondering if anyone could suggest a more >affordable alternative. Should records be stored lying flat, or standing >on their edge? Any other pointers for proper care? > >Thanks! I look forward to getting a wide range of suggestions. > >Miriam >[[log in to unmask]] > Janis Wilkens Curator of Collections/Interim Assoc. Director Museum of York County 4621 Mt.
